A great action movie these days, much to Jason Statham’s…
In case you missed it, IDW is doing some pretty incredible things with their continuing Ghostbusters comic book series.

People love to make references to movies, as they are a hugely important piece of our culture. A movie’s quotability often adds to the entertainment that it gives, especially if the quote is amusing or insightful in some way. Some of the most quotable movies are cult classics, which are not popular in the “mainstream”…
We know all about lots of popular, big-name, mainstream movies. But what about the many other amazing movies out there that may not have been as popular? Plenty of films exist that have great cinematography, well-developed plotlines, and excellent acting. Some are hysterical, while others are more serious in nature. Many are quite entertaining. Here…
Well, we saw a big battle against the White Walkers last week. So it was only natural to expect a bit of a let down with this episode. But, as you know, Game of Thrones pulls out all the stops with the penultimate episode every season. This one was no exception. With a title like…
Most fans of the CW’s popular superhero shows Arrow and The Flash have enjoyed the Barry/Oliver crossover episodes.

Marvel has joined the superhero TV show bandwagon with Daredevil, a Netflix-exclusive show created by Drew Goddard. From the first episode, the atmosphere is set. This is undoubtedly a dark, Batman-esque series, as it takes place at night or in dimly-lit areas most of the time (in a place called Hell’s Kitchen, New York, no…
At noon on June 1, The Hunger Games Facebook page released the first promo poster for Mockingjay Part 2 and the fandom is going crazy. The poster shows a destroyed statue of President Snow with the mockingjay symbol painted in red behind it. In the bottom corner of the poster (also painted in red) is “#UNITE” and “REVOLUTION.PN.”…
Season five, the year Game of Thrones the show took a sharp turn away from the books. It’s the year the Internet went nuts with the plot turns of Mance Rayder, Ser Barristan, Ser Jorah, and Sansa. But now it’s also the year that contains an epic battle with the White Walkers. Oh and did…
Avengers have assembled, Max has taken us down Fury Road, California is falling into a great big hole in the earth and there are a buncha mutant dinosaurs on the horizon. Yep, the blockbuster season is firmly upon us. As much fun as the summer movie season is, there comes a time when you’re just a…
M*A*S*H (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) is not your average doctor show or sitcom.

They move around from place to…
